Re: Life getting in the way LOL

Yes, it is hard fitting it all in, isn't it?! One of our two boys is away on a holiday with a friend this week, and I'm finding I've got so much more time! I'm going out running in the morning. Hopefully I'll be able to keep it up when he's back because I really like it as a get me up. Well done get...
